I would like to install .net 3.5 so I can start using it for new projects. The other projects are all based on 2.0. If I install .net 3.5 will this effect my other applications or .net 2.0? I want to make sure I don't cause any problems by upgrading.
Currently the server i'm using has .net 1.1 and .net 2.0.

Hi,
because .NET 3.5 is based on the version 2.0 runtime there shouldn't be any problem in a normal case, but this thread should give you some more information - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/899847/compatibility-when-upgrading-from-net-2-0-to-3-5
If my post solves your problem, please mark as answer.

Theoritically you won't have any problems. 3.5 is not a framework and it is an extension to 2.0

Hi,
You can go with new version of framework. Projects with older framework will also work for you.
